Monsoon long green dress, 'Atonement' style

Q

Where could I find anything that closely resembles the dress Keira Knightley completely owned in her latest film Atonement?
Kenny, Chicago


A

Keira's stunning green gown was designed by Atonement's costumer Jacqueline Durran, who specializes in 1930 fashion and film photography. It features a bias cut bodice and straight cut skirt, and adds extra effect with a backless panel.

As a result the exact dress is not available to buy, but there are some great evening maxi dresses available on the high street. Monsoon's Lara dress is the closest match I have seen. It costs £150 and is available to buy online.
